Through the meadow a small stream runs, (Parker Creek) in some areas it is well interwoven and rapid flowing while in other places it is sluggish and spongy seeps through the meadow grass. The meadow grass is thick and coarse especially in the moist areas and grows to a height ranging from 8" to 14" inches. The condition of the grass is due in the main to the fact that Parker Meadow is a public pasture
